- time but are not working on a computer.
- Pocket-watches are just too much work to getting
- up, opening, closing, and putting down, and you
- would not like to forget it when you leave if
- you are in a public place.
+ -e Exit with status 0 when the timer reaches 0.
+ If not specified, the timer will continue
+ into negative times but with a red font.
